 get rid of the surplus in the treas y, and save the tariff, the Tennes see legislature made this wise dec laration in regard to it. Petitions have been scattered all over the country, and some of them in this community, asking congress to pass this bill. A great many people per haps signed this petition without knowing It's true merits. It is nat ural for people to take all they can get, and knowing this, the shrewd yankee protectionist fell upon this idea to get the surplus out of tue treasury, and divert the public mind from tariff reform, and save the tarifl bonus in his own pocket. II It was benevolence that actuated this idea of the Blair bill, why wasn't It pro posed on the line of justice? These southern states over whose ignorance these generous(?) souls are bewail- ing, were robbed just after the wal of $6S, 100000 cotton tax which the U. 5. supreme cour. decided was un' constitutional. This vast amount of money, distributed among the cot ton states from which it was unlaw- fully taken, would give them all the school fund they would want or need and it would only be giving them what belonged to them, and they would have the pride and satisfac- tion besides of feeling a;'-s.sss sassi6 rsney were educating thelr own peo- pie with their own money. Why then was not this method adoptedf It is plain, the scheme was to take advantage of our necessities and get us to jump at the bonus, and they would get the credit of being bene factors, and gain their selfish ends also. But not 80. The people, even tho they might not get this cotton tax refunded, yet cannot see it wise to fasten system of taxation on themselves forever that in the long run would make them pay most tear fully for any temporary benefit offer ed by this bill.

IT HAS reached the pass in Ger many of confiscating the property and condemning to prison the resi- dents of Alsace and Lorraine who un- dertake to escape German conscript- ion by emigratlng. There is also much activity in French military cir. cles. The impending war between Germany and France looks to be ready to burst forth in it's fury.

At lsst, or is ito be done to the Mexit veterans. A blll, not big he ed one true, but q bill providing pension for them has passed both houses of congress, and will doubtless become q law. The pension is fixed at $500 per month to all the soldiers or their widows un- married and 62 years Of age,or under 62,on the ground of disability. The delay of this simple and scanty act of justice was because the great ma jority of pensioners under it, would be from the south, and some of them noted confederates, and for this reas- on it would never do to give them a dollar out of the national treasury. No. no. What,if they did shed their blood for the natlon,a conquer the most brilliant success ever achieved by American arms, simply because they lived where they did, and hap pened to be men true to the land of their birth, they must be denied even the least recognition of the na- tion's gratitude. But the day has dawned with little better greeting to these noble veterans. It ought to have dawned 20 years ago, and been g better day.

ballot until ' ' s<uerssy the legislature, thus putting It on the same basis as other acts of the general assembly, and also one ask
 ing the attachment of penalty to the violation of the local option or three-mile law. Strong ground was taken by some of the strong men in the convention, Judge Caldwell among the rest, that as long as license is practiced, for the license to be fixed by the legislature dictated by the demands of justice and the charac
 ter of the business. Many other valuable suggestions were made and left in the hands of the parties who are entrusted with the care of assist ing them into the shape of legal ex
 pression so far as may be. One of the interesting features of the con vention was the strong appeals made before it and the strong endorsement given of the work in reference to so- cial purity among the men and women of our land. Nothing men toned in the convention had deep CT significance than this. How to educate and matufe pure manhood and protect and shield the purity and virtue of gIrl and womanhood and set in motion forces both in the social and legal sphere that shall throw the mantle of protection over the home, e,and, with jealous eye guard it's sacred precincts, and arrest both by social and civil law, the villainy that would assault virtue, and yet seek to thrust itself upon society with the most perniclous effrontery to taint and corrupt; how to do this is qaes
 tion indeed which may we'll engage the attention of the christian, the citizen and the legislator. The ad- dresses of Dr. John A. Brooks of Kansas City, and Col. W. F. Grace of Pine Bluff, in the hall of repre-
 sentatives, were masterly efforts which went to the foundation of the traffic and were unanswerable. On Friday at Il o'clock, the convention adjourned to meet at Morrilton, on the 2nd Tuesday in January 1888.
